Battles Expand Massive Tour

This week, post-rock groove-stomp monsters Battles released Gloss Drop, the long-awaited follow-up to their instant-classic 2007 full-length debut Mirrored. With the LP finally out, the band will be very, very busy for the next few months, playing shows all over the world. And the band has just announced a big addition to their already hectic schedule: A full-scale North American tour that'll take up the entire month of October. That means even more opportunities to catch the awe-inspiring man-machine drummer John Stanier in person.
